Luckily, we're in the height of the summer, the season for real hot-and-steamy sessions in the sack (and outside of it). And as with any party, if you're going to celebrate you've got to do it big, so consider these suggestions about how to have romantic sex from a LifeStyles Condoms Sexual Satisfaction survey.

"A sunny and warm environment is more conducive to socializing," says Carol Carrozza, VP of Marketing for LifeStyles. "And this increased social activity, combined with an increase in hormones, leads to a flurry of summertime sex."

So, here's how to have romantic sex and improve intimacy with your partner, year-round.

Having romantic sex all comes down to one letter: O. Yes, orgasm, folks. To make sure climax happens, be sure to focus on your foreplay; for 41 percent of women, it's the best part of a romp in the sheets. Even better news for ladies: 35 percent of men say making their partner orgasm is the best part of sex. Now that's romantic.

Hey, it's summertime! No need to keep yourself cooped up indoors. In fact, 52 percent of ladies and 58 percent of guys admitted they'd love to try sex in a public place, even if it meant others could see them.
